Looking to upgrade to the Note 4 coming from a Galaxy S3. I want to keep the S3 and try to trade in my old HTC Evo 4G Wimax. Sprint won't take it because the buyback has to be $10 and the Evo is only $5 on the Sprint site. Does Best Buy have a similar requirement or will they take the Wimax? If not I'll just try with one of the Walmart cheapo phones mentioned above.

I was told by the Samsung rep @ Best Buy that if it is on the BB trade in site even for no value that it counts. I bought a prepaid phone as a back up just in case. A guy I work with offered me an old Blackberry but I didn't want to be in a pinch on pick up day. The Samsung rep pointed out the prepaid phone being on sale for $20 so I will just return it if they take the Blackberry. Their site does leave them a lot of room to decline just about anything if they wanted to.

Where are you seeing that? I tried looking it up but see stories about the already released versions that have Exynos Processor, not Snapdragon 805.

The review I read that claimed poor graphics performance was for the octacore Exynos chip. I haven't seen that yet for the 805 Qualcom version. Where did you read that?

So here's something I've been wondering about. Samsung says it will accept trade-ins from "participating retailers". Do they list who those retailers are? My phone is worthless in the Sprint buyback system so I was thinking of using Gazelle where I could get about $65. Would Samsung accept a trade in with Gazelle?

It shows up for $8 so hopefully they take it. Thanks.

I wish we did have a good review of this phone available before I pull the trigger on a pre-order. As stated above the reviews complaining about the performance are not with the 805 we'll get.

I got 2 confirmations fron sprint that "International Wifi calling" does include the US. It's just a PR term. If for some reason it didn't, mine would be going back.

Also, if you look at the S4 on Sprint.com it is also listed as "International wifi calling" just like the note 4.

 

The news release for S4 International Wifi Calling is here. It lists free domestic wifi calling and standard international rates apply.

^^^just noticed someone already said that a page back.

Hopefully those of us who pre-ordered at $350 will get some sort of refund... :fingers:

Don't take any chances. Just call/webchat them now and have them credit your account. That's what I did.

Best Buy is still showing $349 on their site. If they don't drop the price, will they price match Sprint's price when the phone comes out?

Hey newboyx,

 

Can you confirm or deny whether Best Buy will match Sprint's $299.99 price for a 2-year contract instead of the $349.99 that you currently have listed for pre-orders.  If not, I may need to cancel my pre-orders with Bestbuy and do it through Sprint and just wait on my $200 trade-in money for my phone from Samsung.

I can't see why Best Buy wouldn't match the same pre-order price as Sprint itself is doing?

Nice, thanks for pointing that out. Makes things easier not to have to worry about a price match.

Interesting, I emailed them about the Sprint price change asking if they would change it. I asked at 10:31AM today, but received no reply.

Yeah I was on hold with my local mobile department for Best Buy, and she was adamant that it was $299.99 like all the other carriers, so I pressed her on it.  She put me on hold, and while I was on hold I looked it up again because earlier this morning it was still $349.99.  So when she got back on the line, I told her never mind that I saw the website is up to date now.

 

Maybe your email jogged corporate to fix the price on their website.

I sent a tweet to @BestBuySupport this morning asking about something else and got a reply in less than two minutes. I don't know if that was an anomaly or not, but that may be the way to go next time instead of email (if you're on Twitter).

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
